My Citibank "super" money market account is crappy...earning a tad above 1%. I'm going with Fidelity on investments (maybe this could use another thread) but for this, I just want a good rate on a standard savings account.

Does anybody have any experience with <a href="http://www.ingdirect.com">ING Direct</a>? Any recommendations? What's the catch? They are claiming 3.4% on a simple account, and their CDs look good, upwards of 5%.

Should I just forget about savings accounts (minimize the amount I have there) and focus on good short-, mid-, and long-term investing?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
